Luna Grill Nutrition Calculator

Build your Luna Grill order before you order it. Pick a protein, add bases, sides and sauces, and this meal builder totals the calories, fat, carbs, protein and sodium from Luna Grill’s published nutrition data, with percent daily values on a 2,000-calorie diet. No guessing, no menu math at the counter.

Quick Answer

How to use the Luna Grill nutrition calculator

Pick one protein, tick the bases, sides and sauces you will actually eat, set the servings, and click Calculate. The totals appear only after you run it.

1. Protein (pick one): the eight options are radio buttons, so choosing a second protein replaces the first. That matches a real plate; if you order a mixed grill, run the builder twice and add the runs.
2. Bases and sides (pick any): tick every side that lands in front of you. Rice alone is 300 calories and 740 mg of sodium, so an unticked rice still gets eaten and still counts in real life, just not here.
3. Sauces (pick any): the sauce pots range from 30 calories (Tzatziki) to 190 (Garlic Sauce). One of each is a legitimate build; the builder adds them all.
4. Servings: 1 for a normal order, 2 for the same plate ordered for two people, 0.5 for a half portion. Blank counts as 1; the builder accepts up to 20 and rejects zero, negative and non-numeric entries with a plain message.
5. Reset: restores the pre-set worked example plate and one serving, so you can start again from a known plate.

Brand menus differ in structure, so each builder on this site follows its own menu: the CAVA nutrition calculator builds bowls and pitas the CAVA way, while this one follows Luna Grill's kabob plate format.

How the totals and percent daily values are worked out

The builder adds the published per-serving values of everything you picked, then multiplies all five totals by the servings number. The percent daily values compare each total against fixed reference amounts.

Those reference amounts are the US Food and Drug Administration's Daily Values for a 2,000-calorie diet, the same basis printed on packaged food labels; the FDA's Daily Value explainer lists them in full. Fat, carbs and protein totals are shown to one decimal place, calories and sodium to whole numbers, and each %DV is rounded to the nearest whole percent, so 1,160 mg of sodium against a 2,300 mg reference shows as 50% DV. Two honest limits: the builder carries no fibre, sugar or saturated fat data, because the published dataset it uses does not break those out per item, and totals are only as exact as the rounded per-item figures behind them.

Worked example: the 610-calorie plate, and three other builds

Every row below is a real run of the builder above, including the pre-set example. The spread between the leanest and heaviest row is the whole argument for building the meal before you order it.

The result badge labels each run by meal size: Light plate at 600 calories or under, Standard plate from 601 to 900, and Large plate above 900. The worked example lands at Standard, the lean plate at Light, and the gyro feast at Large, with fat at 126% of the daily reference and sodium at 99% before any drink or dessert.

The full menu dataset behind the builder

These are the exact per-serving values the builder adds up, all nineteen items. If a total ever looks off, this table is where to check it.

Where the calories and sodium actually hide

The calorie traps are the gyro meat, the garlic sauce and the hummus; the sodium traps are the gyro meat, the falafel and the rice. Both lists sit in the extras, not the grill.

Gyro Meat runs 550 calories and 52 g of fat before anything else touches the plate, while the Chicken Kabob is 170 calories and 8 g of fat. The Garlic Sauce adds 190 calories and 20 g of fat, more than the Tzatziki (30) and Spicy Tzatziki (45) combined several times over. Original Hummus, which most people file under "healthy side", is 330 calories as served here, heavier than the Falafel's reputation suggests at 310. Rice is 300 calories, so swapping it for the House Salad at 110 saves 190 calories without touching the protein.

Mediterranean food salts generously, and the totals show it. A gyro plate with rice and hummus passes 2,100 mg of sodium before a sauce is added, against a 2,300 mg daily reference that the American Heart Association's sodium guidance treats as a ceiling, not a target, with an ideal nearer 1,500 mg for most adults. If blood pressure is the concern, lean on the Chicken Kabob (190 mg), Grilled Salmon (170 mg), Tzatziki (100 mg) and Tahini (95 mg), and treat the garlic sauce as the luxury it is. Restaurant chains of Luna Grill's size are required to make nutrition information available under the FDA menu labeling requirements, which is why these published figures exist at all. The same sodium pattern shows up across chain menus, as the Buffalo Wild Wings nutrition calculator and the Dave's Hot Chicken nutrition calculator both demonstrate with their own datasets.

Highest protein for the fewest calories

Ranked by grams of protein per 100 calories, the Flat Cut Chicken Kabob and the Chicken Kabob lead the menu, and the Lamb Tenderloin Kabob carries the most protein in absolute terms at 42 g.

The practical pick stays the Chicken Kabob plate from the worked example: 42 g of protein in the full plate because the rice, salad and tzatziki add 11 g between them, at a calorie cost the gyro build cannot match. Pizza night has the same build-your-meal shape, covered by the Little Caesars nutrition calculator in this batch.

A straight note on the data

The protein calories in this builder were refreshed to Luna Grill’s current online menus: Chicken Kabob 170, Flat Cut Chicken Kabob 210, Bistro Filet Beef Kabob 350, Grilled Salmon 350 and Gyro Meat 550 calories, with Koobideh Kabob unchanged at 280. The fat, carb, protein and sodium figures beside them, and every base and sauce figure, still come from the previous published edition (Nutritionix’s interactive menu), because the brand’s current menus print calories without the full nutrient breakdown; they are kept exactly as published there and flagged here rather than guessed. Two items could not be verified against the current menu at all: Lamb Tenderloin Kabob, which no longer appears on the current menus checked, and Falafel, where current snapshots disagree (410 and 500 calories in different listings); both keep their previous-edition values and are flagged as unverified. The brand also offers newer items, such as the roasted garlic lemon chicken kabob, that this dataset does not include at all. Nothing in the builder invents values for those items. Treat every result as a close estimate from a mixed-edition dataset, check the in-store menu for the final word, and read the worked example as exact for this dataset rather than as a lab measurement.

What competing sources miss

Every other source for Luna Grill nutrition is a lookup, not a builder:

• Nutritionix's interactive menu: the underlying dataset and a good one, but it presents one item at a time. Totalling a plate, with servings and %DV across the whole meal, is left to the reader.
• FatSecret and MyNetDiary: per-item and per-plate entries, some of them crowd-sourced and years old (a Bistro Filet entry at 240 calories against the current 350 shows the drift). Neither builds a custom combination.
• Delivery menus (DoorDash, order.online): current calorie counts per plate component, but calories only: no fat, carbs, protein or sodium, and no way to total a plate that swaps a side.
• Luna Grill's own MyMenu tool: the brand's personalisation tool sorts its menu by calories, which helps browsing, but the published figures here are arranged as a meal total with daily values, which is the question people actually bring.
• The gap this page fills: a working meal total across five nutrients with %DV, a servings multiplier for shared and half portions, the full dataset printed on the page for checking, and an honest note where the dataset and the current menu disagree.
